NAD 3130

ALTSELGREEN · 18th May 2011, 11:43 PM

Hello All
New to this site and after some help. I am certain I have accidentally fried the output transistors on my loved NAD 3130

-a pair of speaker wires accidentally touched, which was accompanied by a smell and now the only sound is a low distorted output from both channels.
I lack the knowledge and skill to repair it and wondered if any forum member can recommend someone who could? I live in West Sussex UK. Very near to Horsham.
Many thanks
Tony

If you can get it to me in Milton Keynes I can do it for you.

Thanks eggontoast for your reply-Ive been given a contact near to me, but if that doesn't work out I will certainly bear your kind offer in mind-I could courier it to you quite cheaply. Any idea on costs for a job like this( worst case scenario) as I guess one has to weigh up getting a fully working s/h one against a repair?

Is a DIY repair by yourself out of the question... can you solder and use a multimeter competently ?

Would cost about £30 parts and labour. If you decide to buy a fully working one instead let me know as I would be interested in your broken one.
